Gone but not forgotten!

Those of us who knew and loved Dian were singularly privileged to experience a gracefulness and lovliness of spirit that was without duplicate. I am certain that she had no idea how admired she was and how remarkable. I will never forget her generosity, hospitality, sense of humor and charm. She never missed an opportunity to practice those incredible qualities. Nancy Thompson

I raise my glass to one of the most compassionate people I have ever known. Thank you for the years of friendship you shared with me. You will be missed by many more than you could know. It won't be hard to find you when I join you in the afterlife - I will look for the pigeons on the telephone wire! Love you bunches and miss you more...Cyndi
